This five-bedroom detached new build offers family-friendly living with modern, practical layout and built-in warranties. The ground floor’s open-plan kitchen-dining and adjoining utility door give an easy flow to the private rear garden, while a separate dining room and lounge provide flexible entertaining and quiet zones. Two bedrooms have en suites; Bedroom 1 includes built-in wardrobes for substantial storage. An upgraded kitchen (valued at £3,990) is included and the developer will contribute £12,000 towards LBTT. An integral 1.5 garage and off-street parking help with seasonal storage and everyday vehicles.
The home carries a 10-year NHBC warranty plus a 2-year Taylor Wimpey warranty, which is valuable for peace of mind on a new build. Practical details include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making the house well-suited to working-from-home and family connectivity. Total internal area is around 1,390 sq ft, with about 10 main rooms across two storeys.
Be aware of the estate management fee of £330 and a relatively high council tax band (Band G), which will add to running costs. The development is described as in an area of “very deprived” deprivation index locally, which may affect local services and longer-term resale dynamics. The plot and gardens are modest in size, so buyers seeking large grounds or a rural setting should note the suburban village character. Overall this is a practical, modern family home that prioritises internal space planning and low-maintenance finishes, with some ongoing service charges and local-area considerations to factor in.
